It's kinda sad that I can immediately tell this is Nietzsche. I know too much about him...

>Garrulous

Read it a lot in Kaufmann's Nietzsche translations. Not sure what the original word was in German, but Nietzsche must have used it quite a few times. Especially applicable nowadays, too: "Excessively talkative, especially on trivial matters."

>Moraline

Same as above. Both applicable and yet relatively unheard of nowadays.

>Cornucopia

Limited opportunities for use, but it sounds good.

>Albeit/Insofar/Inasmuch

Not so much my favourites, but definitely useful when I was trying to cut down word counts whilst still saying (or seeming to say) a lot in essays.

>Absolute

But only when pronounced as Absol-yute, which was the pronunciation used by Zeus in one of those God of War games.

>When he was 14, I was mad at him and used a vulgar expression in Slovenian: “Let the dog fuck your mother.” He replied: “That already happened 15 years ago. That’s how I was born.”

>Tfw you will never get BTFO this hard by your own son

Could be a bunch of things: depression, crippling Autism, square eyes (blurry vision) from looking at screens and books, Parkinson's, etc.
Yes. I think it's by time you just shoot yourself. Before all those ailments set in.

>he thinks idpol is a smokescreen for globalization

It's not so much idpol per se, as the reaction to idpol - which is to give oppressive ideologies/institutions/etc a "human face."

It's not that he doesn't care about idpol, but that he realizes the only way you're going to solve idpol issues is to see the bigger issue - which is that Capitalism/Liberal Democracy needs replaced.

I wish I could be more accommodating to the people I encounter in daily life. Were I capable of being so, I might have more friends. I don't have a 'social circle' - I don't even know enough people to have a 'social square', or even a 'social triangle'. A 'social straight line', maybe.

This is easier said than done though. I don't know if it's just the Dunning-Kruger Effect but in almost every social encounter, be it with fellow students or lecturers/strangers/etc, it feels like I have to 'dumb myself down' to varying degrees.

I'm 23 and have yet to find anyone with whom I feel that I can be myself. I'm not truly antisocial inasmuch as I have yet to find someone with whom it's worth being social.
